Although my goal is to see them be at the top of their class, it is more important to see improvements in their tutor lessons and use the knowledge I give them at school to refine their skills I am very easy going and I have a lot of patience. So I am good with kids that are struggling to understand. I use the 4 predominant learning styles:…

I believe an english tutor should be a role model. Where they should embody not only the study skills they teach but also be honest, patient and a motivator, all whilst being professional. Through this a student can grow both academically and as a person allowing them to reap the rewards more deeply. A tutors role is to listen and provide their…

As mentioned above, it is extremely important for tutors to enjoy the content they are teaching. These attitudes are projected onto the willingness of students to engage with the subject. In addition to this, it is important for tutors to create and maintain relationships with their students that emulate trust and belief in their abilities. A…

English Tutor Flinders, NSW
Listen to them, let them teach you about themselves, let them have a go and try things and trial and error. No matter how many times they get it wrong they will always learn more by putting the effort in rather than just being given the answer. Also find out what techniques help them learn best, some students can pick up things in different ways…

As someone who has personally had an english tutor in recent years, I understand the most important things a tutor can do for a student is being patient and understanding. Being able to adapt learning styles and being flexible with each child's different pace, is an important aspect of tutoring. I will put in lots of hard work to constantly…

The most important things an english tutor can do for the student is to really get to know the strengths and weaknesses of the student. In identifying the strengths you can use these to help improve the weaker areas of learning. My strengths are being a patient and well resourced tutor. I’m finishing hsc last year I am up to date with knowledge…

I'm very happy with Lenin. No complaints whatsoever. He knows what exams are coming up and helping our son with the material so that he can face them with confidence.

Inside MinnamurraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Lily revised algebra basics and solved two-step equations, using **worked examples to clarify each step**.

In Year 10, Ben completed a pre-test on surds and practised **simplifying expressions from his classwork**.

For Year 11, Mia focused on financial maths topics including tax and wages, applying **real-life scenarios to consolidate her understanding of pay calculations and deductions**.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student repeatedly avoided setting out working in algebra clearly—"he skipped steps, so small sign errors weren't caught," one tutor observed. This led to extra time spent searching for mistakes rather than understanding the method.

A Year 10 student tackling trigonometry struggled with worded problems, often rushing through reading without underlining key details, which meant incorrect triangles were drawn from the start.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student hesitated to label each step when solving financial maths questions; as a result, the final answers sometimes didn't match what was being asked.

Recent Achievements

A Minnamurra tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to skip steps in her working now consistently lays out her calculations clearly when tackling z-score problems.

In a high school session, another student who had struggled with finance topics surprised herself by not only remembering key equations but also explaining them back during practice questions.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who previously hesitated to attempt worded maths problems has started reading each question aloud before confidently solving them one step at a time, finishing an entire worksheet without needing prompts.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Kiama Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Minnamurra Public School.
